The Greyhound Inn and HotelLlantrissant Near UskMonmouthshire, WalesNP15 1LE What3Words: From the centre of Usk, when you are facing the town clock in the village centre of Usk, take the 2nd exit off of the very tiny roundabout. Follow the road round, past the church on your left. The road curves round to the left past the corner shop on the left. Keep following that road back out of Usk. The Cricket ground will be on your right as you leave Usk. Stay on that road for 2 miles and we are on the right hand side, you can not miss us. It is also important to add that many sat navs take you off before you get into Usk and bring you over the hills which is really narrow, so try to avoid using sat navigation.
